	♥ 9:12am Wind: Good morning one Trouble and all
	9:13am Tara: that sun ra song was like washing up on a beach after being tossed about alone in a very scary stormy ocean all night , thank you , good morning
	♥ 9:17am Zinn The Mood: Hey there, The Troubled and Trouble. Picked up from the library Chelsea Manning’s book “README.txt” Illuminating foray into her decision to join the military (mostly to impress her abusive military Dad), rough abusive alcoholic parents family life (incidentally, her Mom is Welsh, who met her Dad while stationed there), the heinous, wildly invasive broad sweep of the surveillance state and of course the causal atrocity committed by the military - all in the name of “keeping us safe” and the War of Error. Of course throughout is her private struggle with her identity. Very brave, conscientious, empathetic soul. Epochal hero truly, like Julian Assange and Edward Snowden. Love the choices as usual, Trouble.
	♥ 9:17am listener james from westwood: Word out of Jersey City Joe, the local groundhog, is we're gonna have 6 more weeks of Trouble, plus many more. So that's always good.
	9:19am Pax: Wanna hear something weird. All day yesterday i thought it was Jan 2. So like the movie im going to live Groundhog day all over again. Morning trouble.
	♥ 9:22am Phillippe: good morning!
	♥ 9:23am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "i lost something in the hills" by "sybylle baier" I've fallen hard for this lost and found gem of a record.
	♥ 9:23am Crownless Gander: ↳ Song: "i lost something in the hills" by "sybylle baier" God, I love this album. Went through a year when I pretty much listened to nothing else.
	♥ 9:26am Sean Bikes: Someone I love very much, and whose musical taste I respect greatly has sent me a mixtape this morning and I am dying to listen to it But every time I go to hit Play, this awesome DJ curator Trouble keeps hypnotising me with another dreamy track of shimmering beauty Thank you, Trouble
	9:26am loucommando: Omg …. Gotta love a radio station that plays a favorite susumi yakota track!!! Love you wfmu!!
	9:28am Mike W.: Here for anti-covid vibes if ya got ‘em
	♥ 9:29am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning! If it's Thursday, then that's the day for bird stickers - www.wfmu.store...
	♥ 9:29am Crownless Gander: ↳ Song: "greetings to the new brunette" by "billy bragg" Saw Billy Bragg perform this once and he told a story about the repeated name originally being Wilma!
	♥ 9:29am Crownless Gander: Apparently he'd never seen The Flintstones and didn't realize how silly it sounded. Someone had to tell him.
	9:30am Katie McG: Love you Trouble!
	♥ 9:32am josh in the uk: ↳ Song: "greetings to the new brunette" by "billy bragg" I could listen to this song a hundred times a day and it would still hit me each time
	♥ 9:33am terminalhipness: ↳ Sean Bikes @9:26 Similar issue, except trying to focus on work. Oh well, todays show has been a worthwhile distraction!
	9:35am Pax: ↳ Song: "greetings to the new brunette" by "billy bragg" Could that song been a homage to Cindy 'shirley' Williams by chance ?
	9:36am uselysses: Good morning everyone!
	♥ 9:36am sydnius: 🐧 🍀 Good morning Troubled
	9:37am Dances with Moomins: Morning, Moderns & Ttttttttrouble
	♥ 9:37am Zinn The Mood: Billy Bragg brings the biryani - and gets in John Peel! Fun story. www.theguardian.com...
	♥ 9:38am sydnius: I may have to cook a hash brown in a shamrock mold to—day
	9:39am Mike W.: Trouble’s memory of the Baier record is accurate
	♥ 9:42am Yetz: ↳ Song: "greetings to the new brunette" by "billy bragg" Is Shirley the new brunette? (Is he even addressing her in that last line?) If the titular brunette is not Shirley who is she? I like Billy Bragg and I like this song but it's always confused me a bit.
	♥ 9:42am Zipperhead7: Good morning Troubled Modernists! Gotta add that Manning memoir to the list. Thanx for the recommendation!
	♥ 9:42am melinda: i raise my glass
	9:43am Mike W.: OH THANK YOU IT ACTUALLY HELPS!
	9:43am thin slice: Glass is being raised as I pack for a trip from NJ to Texas this afternoon to deal with exactly this
	♥ 9:43am Crownless Gander: ↳ Yetz @9:42 I always think Shirley recently dyed her hair and it's making the narrator aware of the problems in their relationship.
	♥ 9:44am sydnius: Sláinte!
	9:44am Greg from ZONE 5: Another Hudson County juror over here👋🏻
	♥ 9:44am Crownless Gander: ↳ Crownless Gander @9:43 Maybe partly because he has another song in which he says, "Then one day it happened: she cut her hair and I stopped loving her."
	9:45am Mike W.: Isolation has me feeling so gd isolated, acknowledgment that I am actually here, still actually a living thing despite the way my body feels, is important. And I can’t count on my dog for everything.
	♥ 9:46am Zipperhead7: I remember getting called for jury duty in the Bronx. The guy who called out the groups (bailiff?) looked just like Fred Mertz... and he was wearing a black Beatle wig! I stared and stared at him in amazement all day
	9:47am Pax: ↳ Song: "a quiet thing" by "wes montgomery" This is making me go 'aaah' 😌
	♥ 9:48am Webhamster Henry: I'm a semipro juror! several time criminal and grand! My sister is on a jury right now in Manhattan.
	9:51am rx scabin: Thank you for the music, Trouble. I must "go to" an online meeting.
	♥ 9:52am Zinn The Mood: Re: jury duty. Seems pretty universal that nearly everyone would like to avoid it. For many reasons. Not the least of which is that the “system” could correctly be seen simultaneously as intimidating (or yucky) and inefficient. But I’ve come to believe that what the system needs is more thinking, compassionate and empathetic people who decide the fate of people being tried on the Injustice System. Think we should participate. Especially when you think of all those sitting around in fear, watching cable tv and reading reactionary propaganda all day, who would readily show up just as they would to sit at Dunkin Donuts all day.
	9:52am Carmen: Good morning Trouble and fellow listeners. Just getting started out here in the PNW
	♥ 9:52am Crownless Gander: ↳ Crownless Gander @9:44 It is weird, though, that in the rest of the song he's been addressing her directly, and then he's suddenly asking someone else to give his greetings to her or else asking her to give his greetings to herself! Maybe the new brunette is another man!
	♥ 9:54am listener james from westwood: Got voir dired out on my first jury duty call in 2000, and had wild freelance schedules in 2015 at my next call. Would otherwise have been up for participating. My dad, OTOH, was a jury magnet for his life. Got grand jury in Newark once. Was down there for weeks. Also was on a trial that involved Steve Allen as defendant. He settled.
	♥ 9:55am Yetz: ↳ Crownless Gander @9:52 I've never heard a brown-haired man referred to as a "brunette" though. I'm mulling over your hair-dye theory.
	♥ 9:56am Crownless Gander: ↳ Yetz @9:55 Yeah, "ette" pretty much has to be a woman, hey? It is very confusing!
	9:56am Andres: Good morning. Loving this Tom Brock!! Style Council influencer no doubt.
	♥ 9:56am Trouble: @ yetz: sexism in langauge. like men are called junior, what about a woman? @andres: ooooh, right! good call!
	9:59am Mike W.: I heard from an acquaintance who had jury duty — and she really wanted to do it! — that when they asked if she felt she could be objective, she said (wanting to come off as thoughtful and engaged) “Yes, to the extent objectivity is possible,” and that sent her home IMMEDIATELY.
	♥ 9:59am Yetz: ↳ Trouble @9:56 I hope you understand, I am not endorsing sexism in language - just describing it. I think it would be very unusual to call a man "brunette". And I've often wondered why there's no "Jane Jr."!
	♥ 10:00am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ listener james from westwood @9:54 I once received a letter to potentially serve on a grand jury in White Plains and then forgot about the letter until a week after I was supposed to call. Lived the next week in fear that someone would come looking for me for trying to skip out. My number must have not come up because no one ever followed up.
	♥ 10:00am chresti the first: Hi Trouble and troubled!
	♥ 10:02am Crownless Gander: ↳ Yetz @9:59 People don't really talk about brunettes anymore. It's kind of inherently sexist, like talking about "a blonde," as if the colour of the woman's hair is the person.
	10:05am joe: you dont wanna mess w the jury duty police
	♥ 10:05am Trouble: o i wasn't calling you out @ yetz< i am calling out our language and it's inherent biases
	10:05am pot8o: good morning everyone! nothing better than some jazz & soul to start the day
	♥ 10:06am Crownless Gander: ↳ Crownless Gander @10:02 Oh my god, it's a baby! "Politics and pregnancy are debated..." She's having a baby and he's walking away from the scenario. The whole song is about not wanting to commit, but I never before realized the seriousness of the situation.
	♥ 10:06am captain beef fart: Here in Baltimore, one must use fax to communicate with jury duty office
	♥ 10:07am Yetz: ↳ Crownless Gander @9:56 On it's own the phrase "the new brunette" makes me think the narrator prefers brown hair and has had a string of seemingly replaceable girlfriends. Like "this week's flavor". (And yes, it's antiquated). But I have trouble fitting that in with the song. In the first line the narrator is excited to be sleeping "here in this new room", so it doesn't seem like he's been with Shirley very long. So maybe Shirley herself is the new brunette. Maybe the last line is shifts to a different narrator, who is telling Billy to give his greetings? That's the best I can come up with. However, the record cover might support the hair-dye theory i.discogs.com...
	♥ 10:07am Yetz: ↳ Crownless Gander @10:06 wait, now it's a baby??
	10:07am jimphis: Man I thought that was Sam for a bit!
	♥ 10:07am Crownless Gander: ↳ Yetz @10:07 Ha ha. I just realized! It totally makes sense.
	♥ 10:08am Yetz: ↳ Crownless Gander @10:07 Just when I was starting to swallow the hair dye
	10:08am joe: this is technically the style we are supposed to use in the media: The words “blonde” and “brunette” are nouns only, meaning a woman with that particular hair color. A man is a “blond” or “brunet.”
	♥ 10:09am Gregolomania: ↳ Mike W. @9:59 Yeah, they don't really want objectivity. My last time, I got removed by the prosecutor, because I don't have kids. It was a child molestation trial & the DA clearly wanted a box full of parents.
	10:11am Pax: If it's improper to refer to a male's brown hair color as a brunette then what is the correct word not using brown?. Because you can't say ' he's a brown head '. Right ?
	♥ 10:12am Yetz: ↳ Crownless Gander @10:07 www.reddit.com... just found this, with a little bit of input from BB himself (still doesn't totally answer the Q)
	♥ 10:12am Crownless Gander: ↳ Yetz @10:07 I had that EP, which is probably why I interpreted the lyrics that way.
	♥ 10:12am sydnius: ↳ Pax @10:11 il a des cheveux brun
	10:13am eva: my last jury duty service was so traumatic. i was assigned to a sex traffic/ child sexual abuse case and it triggered my ptsd. i had to ask for victims services . they just wouldn’t release me until I told everyone! thank goodness for victim services. they are there for you. it shouldn’t be that way.
	♥ 10:13am Trouble: please feel free to vogue now
	10:13am Zydeco Phil: Mornin Trouble - you are full of surprises I don’t know how to say that in French
	♥ 10:14am Crownless Gander: ↳ Yetz @10:12 Ah, OK. So he's just disregarding grammar/POV in order to get in a lyric that he liked. Fair.
	♥ 10:14am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Trouble @10:13 Is that Grace Jones over there?
	♥ 10:14am Trouble: quelle surprise!
	♥ 10:17am Listener Sean In Long Valley NJ: I love love love deep in vogue. Willi Ninja was the nicest and most talented queen of them all. Malcom was so ahead of his time. Such a timeless track. ❤️🌈🙏🏽
	♥ 10:17am Yetz: Colin Newman wrote a song about being called for jury duty ... "& Jury" - it's a snappy little tune from his 1980 solo LP "A-Z"
	♥ 10:17am Trouble: if you can't vogue then i suggest 'paris is burning' or 'pose' for a start
	♥ 10:18am Webhamster Henry: in re: Jury duty, here's a writeup I did on one of my trials. Interesting for a nostalgic glimpse of communications and crude encryption in the 90s: www.echonyc.com...
	♥ 10:18am Listener Sean In Long Valley NJ: I can try to vogue but bitch is gonna throw his back out.
	10:20am Pax: ↳ sydnius @10:12 Using a alternative language isn't acceptable. So no one knows.
	♥ 10:22am Crownless Gander: ↳ Pax @10:11 The correct term is bruno.
	♥ 10:22am Trouble: @listener sean in long valley nj: chair vogueing is very work or home appropriate
	♥ 10:23am sydnius: ↳ Pax @10:20 ”an”, sorry can’t let it sit, editor. 😁
	♥ 10:25am TDK60: Good morning, DJ Trouble.
	10:31am Pax: ↳ Crownless Gander @10:22 He's a Bruno? That maybe true, but i never heard that word used in that context. And it's a safe bet practically no one else has either. But then again, the ignorants of my own language is commonly shared. Sad to say.
	♥ 10:33am Yetz: ↳ Pax @10:31 back at 10:08 joe suggested "brunet" which I think is correct
	♥ 10:33am Yetz: "Brunet is the masculine form of brunette. It is rarely used."
	♥ 10:33am sydnius: ↳ Yetz @10:33 je pense
	♥ 10:34am Zinn The Mood: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:18 Thanks for that, WH. Bookmarked it for later reading. Columbian drug cartel in Queens, huh? Looks really interesting. Good on you to have taken the time and made this available for posterity. We’re nothing as a society without our, The People’s and not the state’s, stories.
	♥ 10:34am northguineahills: ↳ Trouble @10:22 I'm more of a chaise lounge vogueing type of guy, myself...
	♥ 10:37am Handy Haversack: ↳ northguineahills @10:34 ngh! I'm scandalized! "Chaise longue," please!
	♥ 10:38am Listener Bryan (the Professor): hey trouble! breaking in just to say i love this version of tong poo. always a pleasure. <3
	♥ 10:40am Trouble: hey @bryan! good to hear from you
	♥ 10:40am Listener Bryan (the Professor): back in the time zone where i can listen live.
	♥ 10:44am northguineahills: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:37 if only there was somewhere for you to recline in your moment of pearl clutching, in my momentary moment of misappropriated misspelling misusing furniture nomenclature...
	♥ 10:45am Crownless Gander: ↳ Pax @10:31 Sorry, I was just kidding, thought it would be funny. I was wrong. :)
	♥ 10:47am Listener Bryan (the Professor): ha ha now you're making me miss living in the gulf. are you trolling me? ;)
	♥ 10:47am Handy Haversack: ↳ northguineahills @10:44 Would that it were so. I'm reduced to a fainting crouch!
	♥ 10:48am sydnius: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:47 Quelle dommage!
	10:50am Pax: ↳ Yetz @10:33 This is one of the many things a grade school child learns, but never puts into practice. And now that I know it the probability's are that I won't either.
	♥ 10:50am Marley P. Dogg: Joe Gibbs!!!!! One of my favorite dub tracks of all time!!!
	♥ 10:51am Barney Grubbs: ↳ Song: "chapter 3" by "Joe Gibbs & The Professionals" One day I will try to find the other chapters, but this one is just so so good that I'll probably just listen to it again.
	10:55am Pax: ↳ Crownless Gander @10:45 No, it was. I'm not above being corrected. Heaven knows i need it all day everyday.
	♥ 10:56am sydnius: ↳ Song: "be black" by "grady tate" …Goku!
	♥ 10:56am Kotzwinkled: Ah yet another recognition of a Beastie Boys sample that makes me jump up and point like the Leo DiCaprio meme
	♥ 10:57am Crownless Gander: ↳ Pax @10:55 Don't we all! I'm just a dumb bruno over here.
	♥ 10:58am Jason from Houston: Phew. I gotta go do a thing but like, after Sault.
	10:59am Miss G: Wow, looking at the playlist, what a show I have to look forward to in the archives later! (not awake yet) Watched the PBS docu with Chuck D last night and am so awash in memories from the 60s Chicago, the 70s NYC. . .
	11:00am Pax: ↳ Crownless Gander @10:57 Good'un. 😅
	♥ 11:00am listener james from westwood: Oh, mercy, this Sault track is so killer.
	11:01am Doc from Memphis: Good morning Trouble hope you are staying safe and warm
	♥ 11:02am Zipperhead7: ↳ Song: "strong" by "sault" Zipperdawg digs the marching band vibe. I do too
	♥ 11:04am sydnius: ↳ Zipperhead7 @11:02 Phantom Regiment 4eva
	11:04am bradford: ↳ Song: "takin' it to the streets" by "billy paul" wow, the doobies getting the billy paul treatment!
	♥ 11:04am Mxter Baba: ↳ Song: "takin' it to the streets" by "billy paul" Loving this! Hello, Trouble and folx!
	♥ 11:04am Crownless Gander: ↳ Song: "takin' it to the streets" by "billy paul" Liking this voice better than Michael McDonald's. Is that sacrilege?
	♥ 11:09am Mxter Baba: ↳ Crownless Gander @11:04 No doobie for you! LOL!
	11:12am Miss G: www.instagram.com... PeoplesHistoryNJ amazing
	♥ 11:12am Dance the Blues: I will be dancing the blues at that Sun Ra show
	♥ 11:12am Handy Haversack: I counted thirteen at Joe Bataan!
	♥ 11:13am Handy Haversack: 3 horns 3 drums/percussion 3 backing vocals guitar bass piano Joe!
	♥ 11:13am Zinn The Mood: Occupy! Always the best tactic. Sit down strikes. #ShutItDown Nice one, Trouble! Folks, read Jeremy Belcher’s “Strike.” Very exciting history that has been purposefully omitted from the American History textbooks in school. www.jeremybrecher.org...
	♥ 11:16am TDK60: ↳ Zinn The Mood @11:13 Zinn, Of course; we're not supposed to be interested in labor history.
	♥ 11:17am Zipperhead7: The Slits doc is excellent! Also highly recommend "Poly Styrene: I Am a Cliche" documentary
	♥ 11:18am NotOnTV: "Here to be Heard" was made by Bill from Federation X, who also made a great doc about Don Letts, fyi
	11:19am Purvis: Sun Ra is alive?I thought he left this planet.Ressurected?
	11:20am alan the painter: bumping, that got it, and the The First Composer, The cosmic musical visions of Hildegard of Bingen. the new yorker feb.6 2023. such a late post got to remember to punch "post"!
	♥ 11:20am Handy Haversack: Zinn, TDK60, I'll be heading out to join the striking workers from the Harper Collins Union at a rally at News Corp HQ (Rupert Murdoch owns HCP) this afternoon. 1 PM, 47th and 6th.
	11:21am alan the painter: trouble U the bee' eYe'd lv de tickets tho a new_bee need them. I have painted SunRa for many yrs, finally finding oUt that their French horn player is the bro of a friend from Chicago whom I've known 4years, so many stories, Martial will never stopPLAYing! Lv 2 ALL!
	11:22am alan the painter: great painting on yo page
	♥ 11:22am TDK60: I saw the Slits film, lotsa fun and informative.
	♥ 11:23am Trouble: get in the running for the sun ra arkestra tix sat nite at white eagle hall. troubleatwfmu.org
	♥ 11:23am Handy Haversack: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:20 Also, their strike on NONrally days takes place just one block from the WTC PATH on Dey St. at Broadway. Stop by and cheer them on if you have a chance!
	♥ 11:24am Zinn The Mood: ↳ TDK60 @11:16 I’ve been on the lookout but unsuccessful in finding a better description of American schools than George Carlin’s: “...the indoctrination center where your child is sent to be stripped of his individuality and turned into a mindless, obedient member of the American consumer society.” I might only switch out individuality with creativity or open-mindedness.
	♥ 11:25am TDK60: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:20 Ho, HH! I can't make it this week; maybe next..
	♥ 11:26am Zinn The Mood: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:20 Good job, HH! Would be there if I could. But pickup at the Indoctrination Center is at 2. Got a link to provide context?
	11:26am jacob: I really enjoyed The Slits docu too. Another post punk doc worth poking, If We Shout Loud Enough about Baltimore's Double Dagger.
	♥ 11:27am Handy Haversack: ↳ Zinn The Mood @11:24 K8 was asked -- by a TEACHER -- to justify why their students should study drama and writing plays and how that could help them in later life. When it's one of the only things in schools that can possibly help them -- by showing ways out of the indoctrination center! Art class, too, of course.
	♥ 11:29am Handy Haversack: ↳ Zinn The Mood @11:26 Rally: twitter.com... Interview: hellgatenyc.com... Good piece from LitHub by one of the strikers: lithub.com...
	11:31am pot8o: unfortunately i have to go. thanks trouble & have a great week everyone!
	♥ 11:33am Dance the Blues: ↳ Song: "homem de rua" by "Lô Borges" Fantastic song!
	11:33am Miss G: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:27 When someone aggressively asks me "why study a language which won't 'help them in their career'" or "why study arts" I just blast them with articles on brain development to shut 'em up. L
	11:34am jacob: it bananas that is even a debate
	11:36am AYAYRON: I LOVE BRAZILIAN MUSIC!! Thanks!
	♥ 11:37am Zipperhead7: I was surprised that College Board caved so quickly to DeSatan on AP classes. As Walter Benjamin said, "History is written by the victors."
	♥ 11:39am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Heyo. Got a late start today, working late (meds adjustment messing with me). But I DID put in for the SunRa tix! :) Woo hoo, thanks and fingers crossed!
	♥ 11:40am Zinn The Mood: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:29 Thanks, man! Will definitely check out.
	11:40am Miss G: ↳ Zipperhead7 @11:37 Hedgerow schools. After school programs. Get ready.
	11:41am riley: ↳ Pax @9:19 I remember the Model Citizens vocalist wearing a hat made of colored plastic straws at the long defunct Tribeca venue TR3.
	♥ 11:41am Crownless Gander: ↳ Miss G @11:33 People talking about education in that transactional, individualistic kind of way is just so gross. What about the betterment of humanity?
	♥ 11:42am Zipperhead7: ↳ Zipperhead7 @11:37 And his "culture wars" strategem is intended to distract from his whole Social Darwinist agenda.
	♥ 11:42am Phillippe: ↳ Song: "sand in my shoes" by "marge dobson" love this
	11:43am Miss G: ↳ Crownless Gander @11:41 "Let's keep them fighting each other for crumbs. That'll keep 'em busy."
	♥ 11:43am Zinn The Mood: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:27 I think K8 should covertly leave a copy of Chris Hedges “The Death of The Liberal Class” on her desk.
	♥ 11:47am Crownless Gander: ↳ Miss G @11:43 Like, hopefully the main thing you'll get out of it is to stop asking, "What do I get out of it?"
	♥ 11:47am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:27 Just catching up on chat. It is DISGUSTING how much the arts are underfunded in public schools. I was VERY lucky to grow up with a fantastic local school district -- when I was in High School my school was rated one of the top 20 in the whole country for public schools. I was a good student, but some of my favorite classes were art, band (saxophone), and Library Day. We used to have 8 different language classes, now the district has gone down the toilet due to underfunding and they cut back most of the fun stuff and the only languages available are Spanish and French. I, OTOH,took 6 years of German between grades 7-12, and took 4 credits of it in college, just to keep it up. Fast forward to me in my early 40's....wound up taking the ALTA for some of my temp gigs in German, instant eligibility to earn 3x the hourly English rate. And I still know a few Rilke poems by heart. AND it opened up the city of Berlin for me...my 2nd favorite city on Earth. You've met me IRL; NOBODY thought I was a tourist, especially since I went off season on the times I've been, and it's a glorious sense of freedom to be able to navigate a second city like a native (I got tons of tips from Alexander Hacke of Einstuerzendene Neubauten, and actually met up with him and his partner a few times for clubbing and brunch). Not needing English meant being able to go to the tiniest galleries and holes in the wall. Only ONCE was I ever offered a menu in English, and I politely declined (plus at most kneips it's better to order the daily special anyway, regardless of what it is, for lunch--something like whatever you get and a 6-oz draft beer for $5). But I digress. One intellectual curiosity leads to another, which opens door after door. My Mom, may she rest in peace, was still doing Road Scholar courses online and watching TED talks and stuff on her phone WHILE SHE WAS IN HOSPICE. She wanted to keep learning until the very end, and she did. And that's the right way to live. Thank you and thank you for coming to my TED talk.
	♥ 11:48am βrian: Some friends and I went to hear Chris Hedges speak. Such an optimist, am I right?
	♥ 11:49am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Zipperhead7 @11:37 DeSatan is gonna feel real sorry when most Florida students can't get accepted to out of state colleges, and licensing boards for licensed fields (law, medicine, etc) start pulling schools' accredations. Can confirm that the ABA in particular Does Not Play RE letting low quality schools give valid law degress.
	♥ 11:50am Zinn The Mood: When the principal at the highly touted elementary school literally a block and a half away from us was giving her introduction speech to parents on the cusp of entering school she said the work “success” repeatedly, but with no emotion or context. Just that that’s what they were grooming the kids for. The most nebulous and empty thing I could imagine. (I’d also heard from friends with older kids already there that at graduation they sing God Bless America). We looked at each other and decided that place wasn’t for our children. No f’n way. I don’t care how many awards they’ve gotten.
	♥ 11:51am northguineahills: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜 @11:49 i think you're misapplying human emotions to death$antis (like he cares, he just want to be the next QOP nod in 2026, people be damned...
	♥ 11:52am Zinn The Mood: ↳ βrian @11:48 I love him. Complete unvarnished and focused truth. We walks the talk too. Big factor to me.
	11:52am Miss G: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜 @11:47 As Zinn the Mood mentioned, people's stories are so important. I liked your TED Talk ;-) and have made a note of it. (Editors, my brain is broke, if my apostrophe is wrong I beg your indulgences)
	♥ 11:52am Jason from Houston: Siiiiiick version.
	♥ 11:53am Zipperhead7: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜 @11:49 True that -- thanks for reminding us. Gosh, today would have been my wife's 64th birthday. She was a community organizer and the most fearless person I've known.
	♥ 11:53am listener james from westwood: Always here for Bee Gees covers!
	♥ 11:54am Carmichael: ↳ Zinn The Mood @11:40 Ironically, that rally message needs some editing ...
	11:55am Miss G: ↳ Zipperhead7 @11:53 Well Zipperhead7, I will get off of my Pity Pot and Persevere today in honor of your late wife. Hugs to you.
	♥ 11:55am Handy Haversack: ↳ Carmichael @11:54 The social media and marketing teams rarely wait for us!
	♥ 11:56am Rich in Washington: ↳ Zipperhead7 @11:53 Hugs to you, Zipperhead7!
	♥ 11:56am Trouble: thanks for sitting in this week!
	♥ 11:56am Jason from Houston: Many thanks, Trouble. Cheers, good fighters.
	11:57am Miss G: Thank you so much for rallying me DJ Trouble! Have a good day, keep warm!
	♥ 11:57am Ken From Hyde Park: Thank you, Trouble. Keep warm!
	♥ 11:58am TDK60: Merci, DJ T.
	♥ 11:58am Handy Haversack: Thanks, Trouble! Stay Troubled, everyone!
	♥ 11:58am Strandlund: Thanks for the show Trouble!!
	11:59am bradford: Many thanks trouble!
	11:59am morphe': Thanks T and all !!!
	♥ 12:00pm Phillippe: thanks trouble
	12:01pm Miss G: Oh! One more thing just saw: Public Domain Review John H. White’s Photographs of Black Chicago for DOCUMERICA (1973–74) publicdomainreview.org...

	♥ 9:12am Wind: Good morning one Trouble and all
	9:13am Tara: that sun ra song was like washing up on a beach after being tossed about alone in a very scary stormy ocean all night , thank you , good morning
	♥ 9:17am Zinn The Mood: Hey there, The Troubled and Trouble. Picked up from the library Chelsea Manning’s book “README.txt” Illuminating foray into her decision to join the military (mostly to impress her abusive military Dad), rough abusive alcoholic parents family life (incidentally, her Mom is Welsh, who met her Dad while stationed there), the heinous, wildly invasive broad sweep of the surveillance state and of course the causal atrocity committed by the military - all in the name of “keeping us safe” and the War of Error. Of course throughout is her private struggle with her identity. Very brave, conscientious, empathetic soul. Epochal hero truly, like Julian Assange and Edward Snowden. Love the choices as usual, Trouble.
	♥ 9:17am listener james from westwood: Word out of Jersey City Joe, the local groundhog, is we're gonna have 6 more weeks of Trouble, plus many more. So that's always good.
	9:19am Pax: Wanna hear something weird. All day yesterday i thought it was Jan 2. So like the movie im going to live Groundhog day all over again. Morning trouble.
	♥ 9:22am Phillippe: good morning!
	♥ 9:23am Hughie Considine: ↳ Song: "i lost something in the hills" by "sybylle baier" I've fallen hard for this lost and found gem of a record.
	♥ 9:23am Crownless Gander: ↳ Song: "i lost something in the hills" by "sybylle baier" God, I love this album. Went through a year when I pretty much listened to nothing else.
	♥ 9:26am Sean Bikes: Someone I love very much, and whose musical taste I respect greatly has sent me a mixtape this morning and I am dying to listen to it But every time I go to hit Play, this awesome DJ curator Trouble keeps hypnotising me with another dreamy track of shimmering beauty Thank you, Trouble
	9:26am loucommando: Omg …. Gotta love a radio station that plays a favorite susumi yakota track!!! Love you wfmu!!
	9:28am Mike W.: Here for anti-covid vibes if ya got ‘em
	♥ 9:29am Ken From Hyde Park: Good morning! If it's Thursday, then that's the day for bird stickers - www.wfmu.store...
	♥ 9:29am Crownless Gander: ↳ Song: "greetings to the new brunette" by "billy bragg" Saw Billy Bragg perform this once and he told a story about the repeated name originally being Wilma!
	♥ 9:29am Crownless Gander: Apparently he'd never seen The Flintstones and didn't realize how silly it sounded. Someone had to tell him.
	9:30am Katie McG: Love you Trouble!
	♥ 9:32am josh in the uk: ↳ Song: "greetings to the new brunette" by "billy bragg" I could listen to this song a hundred times a day and it would still hit me each time
	♥ 9:33am terminalhipness: ↳ Sean Bikes @9:26 Similar issue, except trying to focus on work. Oh well, todays show has been a worthwhile distraction!
	9:35am Pax: ↳ Song: "greetings to the new brunette" by "billy bragg" Could that song been a homage to Cindy 'shirley' Williams by chance ?
	9:36am uselysses: Good morning everyone!
	♥ 9:36am sydnius: 🐧 🍀 Good morning Troubled
	9:37am Dances with Moomins: Morning, Moderns & Ttttttttrouble
	♥ 9:37am Zinn The Mood: Billy Bragg brings the biryani - and gets in John Peel! Fun story. www.theguardian.com...
	♥ 9:38am sydnius: I may have to cook a hash brown in a shamrock mold to—day
	9:39am Mike W.: Trouble’s memory of the Baier record is accurate
	♥ 9:42am Yetz: ↳ Song: "greetings to the new brunette" by "billy bragg" Is Shirley the new brunette? (Is he even addressing her in that last line?) If the titular brunette is not Shirley who is she? I like Billy Bragg and I like this song but it's always confused me a bit.
	♥ 9:42am Zipperhead7: Good morning Troubled Modernists! Gotta add that Manning memoir to the list. Thanx for the recommendation!
	♥ 9:42am melinda: i raise my glass
	9:43am Mike W.: OH THANK YOU IT ACTUALLY HELPS!
	9:43am thin slice: Glass is being raised as I pack for a trip from NJ to Texas this afternoon to deal with exactly this
	♥ 9:43am Crownless Gander: ↳ Yetz @9:42 I always think Shirley recently dyed her hair and it's making the narrator aware of the problems in their relationship.
	♥ 9:44am sydnius: Sláinte!
	9:44am Greg from ZONE 5: Another Hudson County juror over here👋🏻
	♥ 9:44am Crownless Gander: ↳ Crownless Gander @9:43 Maybe partly because he has another song in which he says, "Then one day it happened: she cut her hair and I stopped loving her."
	9:45am Mike W.: Isolation has me feeling so gd isolated, acknowledgment that I am actually here, still actually a living thing despite the way my body feels, is important. And I can’t count on my dog for everything.
	♥ 9:46am Zipperhead7: I remember getting called for jury duty in the Bronx. The guy who called out the groups (bailiff?) looked just like Fred Mertz... and he was wearing a black Beatle wig! I stared and stared at him in amazement all day
	9:47am Pax: ↳ Song: "a quiet thing" by "wes montgomery" This is making me go 'aaah' 😌
	♥ 9:48am Webhamster Henry: I'm a semipro juror! several time criminal and grand! My sister is on a jury right now in Manhattan.
	9:51am rx scabin: Thank you for the music, Trouble. I must "go to" an online meeting.
	♥ 9:52am Zinn The Mood: Re: jury duty. Seems pretty universal that nearly everyone would like to avoid it. For many reasons. Not the least of which is that the “system” could correctly be seen simultaneously as intimidating (or yucky) and inefficient. But I’ve come to believe that what the system needs is more thinking, compassionate and empathetic people who decide the fate of people being tried on the Injustice System. Think we should participate. Especially when you think of all those sitting around in fear, watching cable tv and reading reactionary propaganda all day, who would readily show up just as they would to sit at Dunkin Donuts all day.
	9:52am Carmen: Good morning Trouble and fellow listeners. Just getting started out here in the PNW
	♥ 9:52am Crownless Gander: ↳ Crownless Gander @9:44 It is weird, though, that in the rest of the song he's been addressing her directly, and then he's suddenly asking someone else to give his greetings to her or else asking her to give his greetings to herself! Maybe the new brunette is another man!
	♥ 9:54am listener james from westwood: Got voir dired out on my first jury duty call in 2000, and had wild freelance schedules in 2015 at my next call. Would otherwise have been up for participating. My dad, OTOH, was a jury magnet for his life. Got grand jury in Newark once. Was down there for weeks. Also was on a trial that involved Steve Allen as defendant. He settled.
	♥ 9:55am Yetz: ↳ Crownless Gander @9:52 I've never heard a brown-haired man referred to as a "brunette" though. I'm mulling over your hair-dye theory.
	♥ 9:56am Crownless Gander: ↳ Yetz @9:55 Yeah, "ette" pretty much has to be a woman, hey? It is very confusing!
	9:56am Andres: Good morning. Loving this Tom Brock!! Style Council influencer no doubt.
	♥ 9:56am Trouble: @ yetz: sexism in langauge. like men are called junior, what about a woman? @andres: ooooh, right! good call!
	9:59am Mike W.: I heard from an acquaintance who had jury duty — and she really wanted to do it! — that when they asked if she felt she could be objective, she said (wanting to come off as thoughtful and engaged) “Yes, to the extent objectivity is possible,” and that sent her home IMMEDIATELY.
	♥ 9:59am Yetz: ↳ Trouble @9:56 I hope you understand, I am not endorsing sexism in language - just describing it. I think it would be very unusual to call a man "brunette". And I've often wondered why there's no "Jane Jr."!
	♥ 10:00am Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ listener james from westwood @9:54 I once received a letter to potentially serve on a grand jury in White Plains and then forgot about the letter until a week after I was supposed to call. Lived the next week in fear that someone would come looking for me for trying to skip out. My number must have not come up because no one ever followed up.
	♥ 10:00am chresti the first: Hi Trouble and troubled!
	♥ 10:02am Crownless Gander: ↳ Yetz @9:59 People don't really talk about brunettes anymore. It's kind of inherently sexist, like talking about "a blonde," as if the colour of the woman's hair is the person.
	10:05am joe: you dont wanna mess w the jury duty police
	♥ 10:05am Trouble: o i wasn't calling you out @ yetz< i am calling out our language and it's inherent biases
	10:05am pot8o: good morning everyone! nothing better than some jazz & soul to start the day
	♥ 10:06am Crownless Gander: ↳ Crownless Gander @10:02 Oh my god, it's a baby! "Politics and pregnancy are debated..." She's having a baby and he's walking away from the scenario. The whole song is about not wanting to commit, but I never before realized the seriousness of the situation.
	♥ 10:06am captain beef fart: Here in Baltimore, one must use fax to communicate with jury duty office
	♥ 10:07am Yetz: ↳ Crownless Gander @9:56 On it's own the phrase "the new brunette" makes me think the narrator prefers brown hair and has had a string of seemingly replaceable girlfriends. Like "this week's flavor". (And yes, it's antiquated). But I have trouble fitting that in with the song. In the first line the narrator is excited to be sleeping "here in this new room", so it doesn't seem like he's been with Shirley very long. So maybe Shirley herself is the new brunette. Maybe the last line is shifts to a different narrator, who is telling Billy to give his greetings? That's the best I can come up with. However, the record cover might support the hair-dye theory i.discogs.com...
	♥ 10:07am Yetz: ↳ Crownless Gander @10:06 wait, now it's a baby??
	10:07am jimphis: Man I thought that was Sam for a bit!
	♥ 10:07am Crownless Gander: ↳ Yetz @10:07 Ha ha. I just realized! It totally makes sense.
	♥ 10:08am Yetz: ↳ Crownless Gander @10:07 Just when I was starting to swallow the hair dye
	10:08am joe: this is technically the style we are supposed to use in the media: The words “blonde” and “brunette” are nouns only, meaning a woman with that particular hair color. A man is a “blond” or “brunet.”
	♥ 10:09am Gregolomania: ↳ Mike W. @9:59 Yeah, they don't really want objectivity. My last time, I got removed by the prosecutor, because I don't have kids. It was a child molestation trial & the DA clearly wanted a box full of parents.
	10:11am Pax: If it's improper to refer to a male's brown hair color as a brunette then what is the correct word not using brown?. Because you can't say ' he's a brown head '. Right ?
	♥ 10:12am Yetz: ↳ Crownless Gander @10:07 www.reddit.com... just found this, with a little bit of input from BB himself (still doesn't totally answer the Q)
	♥ 10:12am Crownless Gander: ↳ Yetz @10:07 I had that EP, which is probably why I interpreted the lyrics that way.
	♥ 10:12am sydnius: ↳ Pax @10:11 il a des cheveux brun
	10:13am eva: my last jury duty service was so traumatic. i was assigned to a sex traffic/ child sexual abuse case and it triggered my ptsd. i had to ask for victims services . they just wouldn’t release me until I told everyone! thank goodness for victim services. they are there for you. it shouldn’t be that way.
	♥ 10:13am Trouble: please feel free to vogue now
	10:13am Zydeco Phil: Mornin Trouble - you are full of surprises I don’t know how to say that in French
	♥ 10:14am Crownless Gander: ↳ Yetz @10:12 Ah, OK. So he's just disregarding grammar/POV in order to get in a lyric that he liked. Fair.
	♥ 10:14am Webhamster Henry: ↳ Trouble @10:13 Is that Grace Jones over there?
	♥ 10:14am Trouble: quelle surprise!
	♥ 10:17am Listener Sean In Long Valley NJ: I love love love deep in vogue. Willi Ninja was the nicest and most talented queen of them all. Malcom was so ahead of his time. Such a timeless track. ❤️🌈🙏🏽
	♥ 10:17am Yetz: Colin Newman wrote a song about being called for jury duty ... "& Jury" - it's a snappy little tune from his 1980 solo LP "A-Z"
	♥ 10:17am Trouble: if you can't vogue then i suggest 'paris is burning' or 'pose' for a start
	♥ 10:18am Webhamster Henry: in re: Jury duty, here's a writeup I did on one of my trials. Interesting for a nostalgic glimpse of communications and crude encryption in the 90s: www.echonyc.com...
	♥ 10:18am Listener Sean In Long Valley NJ: I can try to vogue but bitch is gonna throw his back out.
	10:20am Pax: ↳ sydnius @10:12 Using a alternative language isn't acceptable. So no one knows.
	♥ 10:22am Crownless Gander: ↳ Pax @10:11 The correct term is bruno.
	♥ 10:22am Trouble: @listener sean in long valley nj: chair vogueing is very work or home appropriate
	♥ 10:23am sydnius: ↳ Pax @10:20 ”an”, sorry can’t let it sit, editor. 😁
	♥ 10:25am TDK60: Good morning, DJ Trouble.
	10:31am Pax: ↳ Crownless Gander @10:22 He's a Bruno? That maybe true, but i never heard that word used in that context. And it's a safe bet practically no one else has either. But then again, the ignorants of my own language is commonly shared. Sad to say.
	♥ 10:33am Yetz: ↳ Pax @10:31 back at 10:08 joe suggested "brunet" which I think is correct
	♥ 10:33am Yetz: "Brunet is the masculine form of brunette. It is rarely used."
	♥ 10:33am sydnius: ↳ Yetz @10:33 je pense
	♥ 10:34am Zinn The Mood: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:18 Thanks for that, WH. Bookmarked it for later reading. Columbian drug cartel in Queens, huh? Looks really interesting. Good on you to have taken the time and made this available for posterity. We’re nothing as a society without our, The People’s and not the state’s, stories.
	♥ 10:34am northguineahills: ↳ Trouble @10:22 I'm more of a chaise lounge vogueing type of guy, myself...
	♥ 10:37am Handy Haversack: ↳ northguineahills @10:34 ngh! I'm scandalized! "Chaise longue," please!
	♥ 10:38am Listener Bryan (the Professor): hey trouble! breaking in just to say i love this version of tong poo. always a pleasure. <3
	♥ 10:40am Trouble: hey @bryan! good to hear from you
	♥ 10:40am Listener Bryan (the Professor): back in the time zone where i can listen live.
	♥ 10:44am northguineahills: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:37 if only there was somewhere for you to recline in your moment of pearl clutching, in my momentary moment of misappropriated misspelling misusing furniture nomenclature...
	♥ 10:45am Crownless Gander: ↳ Pax @10:31 Sorry, I was just kidding, thought it would be funny. I was wrong. :)
	♥ 10:47am Listener Bryan (the Professor): ha ha now you're making me miss living in the gulf. are you trolling me? ;)
	♥ 10:47am Handy Haversack: ↳ northguineahills @10:44 Would that it were so. I'm reduced to a fainting crouch!
	♥ 10:48am sydnius: ↳ Handy Haversack @10:47 Quelle dommage!
	10:50am Pax: ↳ Yetz @10:33 This is one of the many things a grade school child learns, but never puts into practice. And now that I know it the probability's are that I won't either.
	♥ 10:50am Marley P. Dogg: Joe Gibbs!!!!! One of my favorite dub tracks of all time!!!
	♥ 10:51am Barney Grubbs: ↳ Song: "chapter 3" by "Joe Gibbs & The Professionals" One day I will try to find the other chapters, but this one is just so so good that I'll probably just listen to it again.

	♥ 11:13am Zinn The Mood: Occupy! Always the best tactic. Sit down strikes. #ShutItDown Nice one, Trouble! Folks, read Jeremy Belcher’s “Strike.” Very exciting history that has been purposefully omitted from the American History textbooks in school. www.jeremybrecher.org...
	♥ 11:16am TDK60: ↳ Zinn The Mood @11:13 Zinn, Of course; we're not supposed to be interested in labor history.
	♥ 11:17am Zipperhead7: The Slits doc is excellent! Also highly recommend "Poly Styrene: I Am a Cliche" documentary
	♥ 11:18am NotOnTV: "Here to be Heard" was made by Bill from Federation X, who also made a great doc about Don Letts, fyi
	11:19am Purvis: Sun Ra is alive?I thought he left this planet.Ressurected?
	11:20am alan the painter: bumping, that got it, and the The First Composer, The cosmic musical visions of Hildegard of Bingen. the new yorker feb.6 2023. such a late post got to remember to punch "post"!
	♥ 11:20am Handy Haversack: Zinn, TDK60, I'll be heading out to join the striking workers from the Harper Collins Union at a rally at News Corp HQ (Rupert Murdoch owns HCP) this afternoon. 1 PM, 47th and 6th.

	♥ 11:23am Handy Haversack: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:20 Also, their strike on NONrally days takes place just one block from the WTC PATH on Dey St. at Broadway. Stop by and cheer them on if you have a chance!
	♥ 11:24am Zinn The Mood: ↳ TDK60 @11:16 I’ve been on the lookout but unsuccessful in finding a better description of American schools than George Carlin’s: “...the indoctrination center where your child is sent to be stripped of his individuality and turned into a mindless, obedient member of the American consumer society.” I might only switch out individuality with creativity or open-mindedness.
	♥ 11:25am TDK60: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:20 Ho, HH! I can't make it this week; maybe next..
	♥ 11:26am Zinn The Mood: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:20 Good job, HH! Would be there if I could. But pickup at the Indoctrination Center is at 2. Got a link to provide context?
	11:26am jacob: I really enjoyed The Slits docu too. Another post punk doc worth poking, If We Shout Loud Enough about Baltimore's Double Dagger.
	♥ 11:27am Handy Haversack: ↳ Zinn The Mood @11:24 K8 was asked -- by a TEACHER -- to justify why their students should study drama and writing plays and how that could help them in later life. When it's one of the only things in schools that can possibly help them -- by showing ways out of the indoctrination center! Art class, too, of course.
	♥ 11:29am Handy Haversack: ↳ Zinn The Mood @11:26 Rally: twitter.com... Interview: hellgatenyc.com... Good piece from LitHub by one of the strikers: lithub.com...
	11:31am pot8o: unfortunately i have to go. thanks trouble & have a great week everyone!
	♥ 11:33am Dance the Blues: ↳ Song: "homem de rua" by "Lô Borges" Fantastic song!
	11:33am Miss G: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:27 When someone aggressively asks me "why study a language which won't 'help them in their career'" or "why study arts" I just blast them with articles on brain development to shut 'em up. L
	11:34am jacob: it bananas that is even a debate
	11:36am AYAYRON: I LOVE BRAZILIAN MUSIC!! Thanks!
	♥ 11:37am Zipperhead7: I was surprised that College Board caved so quickly to DeSatan on AP classes. As Walter Benjamin said, "History is written by the victors."
	♥ 11:39am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Heyo. Got a late start today, working late (meds adjustment messing with me). But I DID put in for the SunRa tix! :) Woo hoo, thanks and fingers crossed!
	♥ 11:40am Zinn The Mood: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:29 Thanks, man! Will definitely check out.
	11:40am Miss G: ↳ Zipperhead7 @11:37 Hedgerow schools. After school programs. Get ready.
	11:41am riley: ↳ Pax @9:19 I remember the Model Citizens vocalist wearing a hat made of colored plastic straws at the long defunct Tribeca venue TR3.
	♥ 11:41am Crownless Gander: ↳ Miss G @11:33 People talking about education in that transactional, individualistic kind of way is just so gross. What about the betterment of humanity?
	♥ 11:42am Zipperhead7: ↳ Zipperhead7 @11:37 And his "culture wars" strategem is intended to distract from his whole Social Darwinist agenda.
	♥ 11:42am Phillippe: ↳ Song: "sand in my shoes" by "marge dobson" love this
	11:43am Miss G: ↳ Crownless Gander @11:41 "Let's keep them fighting each other for crumbs. That'll keep 'em busy."
	♥ 11:43am Zinn The Mood: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:27 I think K8 should covertly leave a copy of Chris Hedges “The Death of The Liberal Class” on her desk.
	♥ 11:47am Crownless Gander: ↳ Miss G @11:43 Like, hopefully the main thing you'll get out of it is to stop asking, "What do I get out of it?"
	♥ 11:47am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Handy Haversack @11:27 Just catching up on chat. It is DISGUSTING how much the arts are underfunded in public schools. I was VERY lucky to grow up with a fantastic local school district -- when I was in High School my school was rated one of the top 20 in the whole country for public schools. I was a good student, but some of my favorite classes were art, band (saxophone), and Library Day. We used to have 8 different language classes, now the district has gone down the toilet due to underfunding and they cut back most of the fun stuff and the only languages available are Spanish and French. I, OTOH,took 6 years of German between grades 7-12, and took 4 credits of it in college, just to keep it up. Fast forward to me in my early 40's....wound up taking the ALTA for some of my temp gigs in German, instant eligibility to earn 3x the hourly English rate. And I still know a few Rilke poems by heart. AND it opened up the city of Berlin for me...my 2nd favorite city on Earth. You've met me IRL; NOBODY thought I was a tourist, especially since I went off season on the times I've been, and it's a glorious sense of freedom to be able to navigate a second city like a native (I got tons of tips from Alexander Hacke of Einstuerzendene Neubauten, and actually met up with him and his partner a few times for clubbing and brunch). Not needing English meant being able to go to the tiniest galleries and holes in the wall. Only ONCE was I ever offered a menu in English, and I politely declined (plus at most kneips it's better to order the daily special anyway, regardless of what it is, for lunch--something like whatever you get and a 6-oz draft beer for $5). But I digress. One intellectual curiosity leads to another, which opens door after door. My Mom, may she rest in peace, was still doing Road Scholar courses online and watching TED talks and stuff on her phone WHILE SHE WAS IN HOSPICE. She wanted to keep learning until the very end, and she did. And that's the right way to live. Thank you and thank you for coming to my TED talk.
	♥ 11:48am βrian: Some friends and I went to hear Chris Hedges speak. Such an optimist, am I right?
	♥ 11:49am Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: ↳ Zipperhead7 @11:37 DeSatan is gonna feel real sorry when most Florida students can't get accepted to out of state colleges, and licensing boards for licensed fields (law, medicine, etc) start pulling schools' accredations. Can confirm that the ABA in particular Does Not Play RE letting low quality schools give valid law degress.
	♥ 11:50am Zinn The Mood: When the principal at the highly touted elementary school literally a block and a half away from us was giving her introduction speech to parents on the cusp of entering school she said the work “success” repeatedly, but with no emotion or context. Just that that’s what they were grooming the kids for. The most nebulous and empty thing I could imagine. (I’d also heard from friends with older kids already there that at graduation they sing God Bless America). We looked at each other and decided that place wasn’t for our children. No f’n way. I don’t care how many awards they’ve gotten.
	♥ 11:51am northguineahills: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜 @11:49 i think you're misapplying human emotions to death$antis (like he cares, he just want to be the next QOP nod in 2026, people be damned...
	♥ 11:52am Zinn The Mood: ↳ βrian @11:48 I love him. Complete unvarnished and focused truth. We walks the talk too. Big factor to me.
	11:52am Miss G: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜 @11:47 As Zinn the Mood mentioned, people's stories are so important. I liked your TED Talk ;-) and have made a note of it. (Editors, my brain is broke, if my apostrophe is wrong I beg your indulgences)
	♥ 11:52am Jason from Houston: Siiiiiick version.
	♥ 11:53am Zipperhead7: ↳ Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜 @11:49 True that -- thanks for reminding us. Gosh, today would have been my wife's 64th birthday. She was a community organizer and the most fearless person I've known.
	♥ 11:53am listener james from westwood: Always here for Bee Gees covers!
	♥ 11:54am Carmichael: ↳ Zinn The Mood @11:40 Ironically, that rally message needs some editing ...
	11:55am Miss G: ↳ Zipperhead7 @11:53 Well Zipperhead7, I will get off of my Pity Pot and Persevere today in honor of your late wife. Hugs to you.
	♥ 11:55am Handy Haversack: ↳ Carmichael @11:54 The social media and marketing teams rarely wait for us!
	♥ 11:56am Rich in Washington: ↳ Zipperhead7 @11:53 Hugs to you, Zipperhead7!
	♥ 11:56am Trouble: thanks for sitting in this week!
